Mexico — World Cup 2026 Squad & Fixtures

Mexico qualified automatically as co-hosts and begin the tournament in Group A against South Africa, South Korea and Czechia. Their best World Cup finish is the quarter-final, achieved in 1970 and 1986, and the home setting will inevitably revive talk of matching that. The group is open enough for Mexico to control it, but South Korea and Czechia can both punish loose football. First place should be the expectation, not the dream.
